Eek...2010? Ish. It's been a LONG time!

Not too long ago i installed a CentOS on my old laptop.

Been a minute. You can do it all via USB now. Even making installable OS’s via thumb drives.

Yes!, there are still windows server installation cds though.

There’s probably some server hardware that only install via CD’s, or as a backup solution if you can’t PXE boot or install via USB.

I think the last time I ever used an installation disc was back in 2015. The computers I use now don't even have a CD drive.

I don't remember, but it has been a long time.

I haven't had a disc drive in a very long time. Think I was in high school then. I've got an external disk drive somewhere, but I only had that to burn CDs to my iTunes account a number of years ago. As far as install disks go, I'd say it's been at least a decade.

It has been such a long time since I used CD Roms that I can barely remember the last time I used one to load software onto my system. If I were to guess, I would have to say that it was around 2013 when I was taking driving lessons and I was using software which loaded using a CD to practice my theory test.

I never installed a OS using a physical CD in my life. I have installed older OSes using isos of old discs via Virtualbox and PCem however. I've also installed Ubuntu using a USB drive.

Very long time ago. I still have a computer with CD-Rom, but there are no CD around.

I uploaded the Paint Shop Pro 6 software from a CD years ago where I can create my own animations.

I have not tried it because my online companies prefer the speedtest site to check our internet's speed. They need to know if we can have good internet while teaching online.

Mine either. I have to go to websites and download software.

Isn't that what everyone does these days?

Pretty much. Even with video games in the store you buy. I bought Civilization and I got a slip of paper in the package telling me to go to Steam and verify my purchase. The CD that came with it was basically useless.
